Interesting development from the nutrition team/brand involved in Yomif Kejelcha's recent sub2 marathon debut.

Idea: "Once absorbed, lactate is used as a fuel source, but it also acts as a physiological signal that informs the body that exercise intensity is increasing. This helps trigger the body’s natural performance-related responses, activating the mechanisms involved in adapting to high-intensity exercise."

Adding lactate externally to modulate pathways internally. Wondering if/how it will affect our intra-workout readings.
